Amy Hasbrook Family
Leadership Award
Amy Hasbrook was a student-athlete at Cathedral High School in
Indianapolis and later DePauw University. She participated in girls
basketball and was a product of the opportunities that Title IX
created. Amy tragically perished in a house fire in 2002. Her legacy
is the impression she left on those who knew her.
Awards also have been established at Cathedral High School and
DePauw University to honor her legacy. As a captain of the
basketball team while at DePauw, she is still the Tigers’ all-time
leading field goal shooter at 65.2%. Amy was also a two-time
member of the SCAC Honor Roll and Head Coach Kris Huffman
refers to Amy as the “fiercest competitor she’s ever seen.”
Thanks to a very generous donation to the IHSAA Foundation from
the Hasbrook family of Indianapolis in the name of their late
daughter, Amy, the Amy Hasbrook Leadership Award is awarded
each year to two female student-athletes who best exemplify and
embody sportsmanship, leadership, integrity, dedication to the
team, and community service.

Amy Hasbrook Family
Leadership Award
Maliyah Dunn of Peru High School participated in basketball in each of
her four years as a Tiger, earning a varsity letter her senior year. She’s a
member of Peru’s Student Council, Tiger Leadership, and National Honor
Society. Maliyah is also a Student Section Leader, organizing the student
section for Peru’s athletic contests and creating themes and t-shirts for
students to wear. Growing up in a tough situation, the hardwood became
an escape. It wasn’t just about shooting hoops but finding peace and
purpose in the midst of difficulty. Stepping onto the basketball court
became a refuge for Maliyah, offering her solace and a sense of purpose.
Even when things didn’t go well on the court, Maliyah learned to keep going
and never give in. Being part of a team gave her a sense of belonging, like
having a second family. As Maliyah reflects on her journey, she is reminded
of the transformative power of athletics. What began as a means of escape
evolved into a catalyst for personal growth and empowerment. Through the
highs and lows of her athletic endeavors, Maliyah discovered the strength
within to overcome adversity, navigate challenges, and emerge stronger,
both on and off the court. Indeed, basketball was not merely a game--it was
her salvation, her sanctuary, and her steadfast companion on the path to
resilience and redemption. Maliyah will be continuing her academic journey
at Purdue University in the fall.
Gabrielle Warren of Crawfordsville High School is a three-sport athlete,
participating in cross country, golf, and track & field during her time as
an Athenian. She earned a varsity letter in each of her four years in cross
country and track & field, while earning a varsity letter during her junior
and senior year in golf. Gabrielle is also a member of Crawfordsville’s
National Honor Society, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Champions
Together Club, and the Student Athletic Leadership Team. Participating in
high school athletics has had a profound impact on Gabrielle’s life. While
she didn’t always finish with the fastest time or the best score, it was the
leadership and time management skills that Gabrielle developed over time
that has now set her up for success in the future. She went from someone
who was hesitant to try something new to one who was the team captain in
each of her high school sports and a winner of numerous mental
attitude awards. Participating in middle school and high school athletics
introduced her to new friends and gave her the opportunity to be a leader
and role model for younger girls. Gabrielle stated, “I am grateful my lasting
impact on my high school teams was not because of scores or times, but
my attitude and how I carry myself.” Gabrielle will begin her pursuit of a
nursing degree in the fall. She has a special connection to this career path
due to her family’s experience during her birth. Gabrielle was born via an
emergency c-section 10 weeks prematurely. Because of this, she was under
constant care at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for several weeks as her
body grew stronger. Her family was unable to do anything but watch, wait,
and hope for the best. The staff at the NICU worked tirelessly to provide
Gabrielle with the best care possible, while also offering their support and
care to her family. Gabrielle hopes to provide the same care and support to
her patients and their families in the near future.
